The books have been discussed on many Internet forums long previous to the movies, and many of these same forums continued discussing the books during and after the first three movies had their run. I have every reason to believe the same groups will go back to discussing the books after the present three movies (or four...five...however long PJ wants to drag out his fan-fictional commerical excursion) have faded from the spotlight. Please visit my blog...The Dark Elf File...a slighty skewed journal of music and literary comment, fan-fiction and interminable essays.
